That's All Right
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Well, that's alright now mama
That's alright with you
That's alright now mama, just anyway you do
That's alright, that's alright
That's alright now mama, anyway you do
Well mama, she done told me, papa done told me too
"Son, that gal you're foolin' with
She ain't no good for you"
But that's alright now, that's alright
I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with me hanging 'round your door
Well, that's alright, that's alright
That's alright now mama, anyway you do
Ah dala dee dee deelee
Dee dee deelee
Dee dee deelee, I need your lovin'
That's alright
That's alright now mama, anyway you do

Contrary to popular myth, "That's All Right" is not the song Elvis recorded for his mother. In truth, Elvis recorded "My Happiness" for his mom much earlier during his first visit to Sun Records, summer or early fall 1953. By the time Elvis recorded "That's All Right," Jul. 5 1954, Sam Phillips was calling Elvis, hoping to find a vehicle for the voice that had haunted him off and on over several months. "That's All Right," an Arthur "Big Boy" Cruddup song, was a favorite of Elvis's and wound up recorded on a whim.

In truth, Elvis recorded "My Happiness" for his mom much earlier during his first visit to Sun Records, summer or early fall 1953. By the time Elvis recorded "That's All Right," Jul. 5 1954, Sam Phillips was calling Elvis, hoping to find a vehicle for the voice that had haunted him off and on over several months. "That's All Right," an Arthur "Big Boy" Cruddup song, was a favorite of Elvis's and wound up recorded on a whim. The irony is that Phillips had turned the tape deck off when Bill Black started smacking the stand-up bass and Elvis danced the moves that eventually made him the center of controversy on live television. Phillips told them to start again, this time with the tape recorder on. In the middel of July of '54, Dewey Phillips (no relation to Sam) played the disc dozens of times as calls poured into WHBQ in Memphis. Elvis, meanwhile, was at the Suzore #2 Movie Theater, which is where his parents found him and informed him that his record was a big hit on Dewey's radio show "Red, Hot, and Blue." The song reached Number 4 in Memphis but did not chart nationally. Bassplayer Bill Black and guitarist Scotty Moore played along with Elvis, who played his own rhythm guitar.

On the night of July 7, 1954, Memphis disc jockey Dewey Phillips played a brand-new recording of the song “That’s All Right” sung by 19-year-old Elvis Presley, who lived there in Memphis. Right away, listeners starting calling, demanding that he play it again, asking exactly what kind of music it was – blues? rock ’n’ roll? – and wanting to know more about the singer.
Dewey played the song fourteen times that night. During one break, he called the Presley home, wanting to get Elvis down to the studio for an interview. Elvis, who’d been told that his record might be on the radio, had been too nervous to listen. “I thought people would laugh at me,” he later explained. So he’d gone to the movies.
Dewey asked his mother to find him, saying, “I played that record of his, and them birdbrain phones haven’t stopped ringing since.” Mr. and Mrs. Presley hurried to the theater, searched the dark rows, found their son, and hustled the boy off to WHBQ for the interview.
As a child, Elvis Presley soaked up gospel music at church. He listened to country music on The Grand Ole Opry radio show, blues singers on the streets of Memphis, spirituals at tent revivals, symphony orchestra concerts in the park, opera on the family’s wind-up Victrola.
“What kind of singer are you?” the manager of a Memphis recording studio asked him when he made his very first record. “Aw, I sing all kinds,” he answered. “Who do you sound like?” she pressed. “I don’t sound like nobody,” he insisted.
His answer was more than youthful boasting. Presley’s unabashedly original style embraced all kinds of American music and crossed all borders of race, class, and region. As biographers have noted, that democratic principle of his music helped win legions of fans.

Son, that girl you're fooling with
She ain't no good for you
But, that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
I'm leaving town, baby
I'm leaving town for sure
Well, then you won't be bothered with
Me hanging around your door
But that's all right, that's all right
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Ah da da dee dee dee dee
Dee dee dee dee, dee dee dee dee
I need your lovin'
That's all right

@George Leventeris I know a lot of blues musicians and none of them we're recorded by Elvis Presley. I mean the playing field was equal in the Jim Crow South wasn't it?
